The University will commemorate workers killed or injured because of their work by lowering flags on campus Tuesday, April 28, in observance of the International Day of Mourning for Workers Killed or Injured on the Job.

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the day’s recognition by the Canadian government. It has now spread to about 80 countries, encouraging cooperation between employers and workers to prevent worker injuries and deaths before they occur.

University employees are also invited to observe a minute of silent reflection at 11 a.m. Tuesday.
